April 6 has a variety of fresh events to keep nearly every person in Uptown New Orleans entertained and enjoying the beginning of spring. A book signing, paint drop off event, Habitat Romp and crawfish and bluegrass crawl are among the highlights.

Helana Brigman will host a discussion and signing of her book, “Fresh Table: Cooking in Louisiana All Year Round” from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at the Garden District Book Shop at 2727 Prytania St., New Orleans. The book provides a selection of recipes like Petite Crab Cakes with Cajun Dijon Dipping sauce and Blueberry Balsamic Gelato. Brigman will also be performing a cooking demonstration at the signing.

If you are looking for a way to go green this spring, The Green Project is hosting a latex paint drop-off from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Whole Foods Arabella Station at 5600 Magazine St., New Orleans. The group will clean and filter your usable latex paint and repurpose it, which ultimately prevents over 40,000 gallons from dispersing throughout the wetlands and groundwater supply each year.
